SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 25, 2025, the President issued Executive Order (E.O.) 14249, Protecting America’s Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (90 FR 14011), to promote the financial integrity and operational efficiency of the Federal Government. Therein the President mandated all Federal Departments and agencies include a routine use in relevant systems of records notices to allow for the disclosure of records to the Department of Treasury for the purposes of identifying, preventing, or recouping fraud and improper payments. On August 20, 2025, OMB issued Memorandum M–25–32, Preventing Improper Payments and Protecting Privacy Through Do Not Pay, to the heads of all executive departments and agencies. In its memorandum, OMB provided guidance to Departments and agencies regarding the requirements of both E.O. 14249 and The Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (31 U. S.C. 3551) . M–25–32 contained proposed language for agencies to use for their new or modified routine uses, while clarifying that the new requirements applied to any agency’s system of records that ‘‘maintains information about applicants for, or recipients of, Federal funds that agencies use to make eligibility determinations for payments to beneficiaries, award and loan recipients, vendors, contractors, and other payees.’’ DOJ as an agency has participated in Treasury’s ‘‘Do Not Pay’’ program since 2017 through disclosures to Treasury from DOJ–001, Accounting Systems for the Department of Justice, 69 FR 31406 (June
